The article given below, is an eye-opener. This is exactly what my wife and I have been talking since we reoriented our life and ministry on the biblical theology of the centrality of the local church, which is the Family of families (thanks to ORC and BILD).
The so-called special ministries to children, youth, students, young-home-makers, etc., by pulling them out of the families and churches, really do more harm to their families and local churches. They are gapping the gap wider by encouraging the young ones to trust others more than their family and church.
Again, like Para-church missionary organizations, these special ministries gain as much as possible from the mistakes and failures of the parents and church leaders.
It is the wakeup call, not only to the special ministries outside the church and family relationships, but also to the churches and families which are deteriorating.
